Helmdon Branch WEA – Spring 2015 Course
Helmdon Branch WEA – Spring 2015 Course
Charity reg. no: 1112775
| Title: |
Shakespeare’s England – Behind Closed Doors |
| Tutor: | Elaine Rawlinson |
| About this Course: |
New ideas and attitudes were changing the public face of Elizabethan society but what was happening behind the closed doors of the family home? What was the Elizabethan’s attitude to family, relationships, old age, sickness, death and superstition? Did the coming of a new male monarch change how people viewed their world? Are we very different today in how we view these subjects and can we learn anything from plays written over 400 years ago? We use Shakespeare’s plays (including Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, Othello and others) to explore the private lives of Elizabethan/Jacobean society. |
